The striker went to see the youngster and brightened up her day by giving her a signed shirt and the match-ball from his hat-trick against Motherwell.
After responding from difficult times himself, Nizzy was keen to help the young supporter who is going through tricky times herself.
Visiting the 13-year-old, her nine-year-old brother Kai, and her parents Gary and Cara, the striker chatted to them about Hibs, football and life, creating memories that’ll last a lifetime for the family.
On the visit, Kevin Nisbet told hibernianfc.co.uk: “I have been wanting to help young supporters for a while, so I contacted Edinburgh Sick Kids and I believe Ava just missed seeing us all around Christmas Day as she was admitted the day after.
“It was actually just before I scored a hat-trick that I arranged to go and see Ava, and her family, so after that hat-trick, I thought it was only right that I gave her the ball.
“She was speechless when I came in. She’s a lovely wee girl, she’s really strong, and she was absolutely buzzing, which was great to see.”
Alie Simpson, Marketing and Communications Manager at Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity, added: “I’d just like to say a massive thank you, again, to Kevin for giving up his time and bringing those gifts to Ava.
“She was absolutely delighted, and her mum has told us that she hasn’t stopped smiling since!”
